Yeah, right now the UA tealeaves suggest three possibilities, which are not mutually exclusive: something Ravenloft, something Dark Sun...

Yes. That is my standard. Ten is what is in the current PHB, but that number would really be whatever is in the PHB you are using. But...

I consider setting expansions books fair game for banning. I don't use Dark Gifts outside of Ravenloft, Dragonmarks outside of Eberron...

No. I cited one example. Did you really need me to list every species? My point was 1.) it's never just one species (or class or...

If I'm considering joining a table of folks I don't know very well, or at all, and the DM has a list of seemingly arbitrary restrictions...

Gryphon Hill might be the origin of many Ravenloft setting tropes, but it doesn't really work in the modern concept of Ravenloft. There...

I absolutely do not want my CoolStuff to be by the GM's beneficence, using and getting those CoolStuff is the very reason I play the...

Also I'd like to comment how rude it is to suggest that my view and preference came because WotC told me to; I was already deriding what...
